says edi;orially: Things happen on il large
scale III the Golden State, even when they
are disasters. Twenty years ago San Fran
cisco produced the most calamitous nitro
glycerine explosion that had occurred up to
that time. Now news of another and more
sensational explosion, though happily not
so destructive one, comes from the same
lively region. Nothing stranger has ever
been reported in the news of the day than
the story of the schooner Parallel.

New YORK, January 1Sth.-The trial of
ex-Alderman John O'Neil, who is the next
" boodler" on the list of the District At

is going to set up as defense that he never
was an Alderman of the city of New York,
or rather that the entire Board of which
he was a member, held office in direct vio-
lation of the provisions of the Constitution
of the State of New York.
